About me
Do you feel stuck in your own head - low, unmotivated or constantly overthinking everything? You may feel exhausted by 'getting on with things' but finding that it's just not working anymore.
If this sounds like you, know you're not alone and you don't have to figure everything out yourself.
I've helped many people who have low self-esteem and confidence, or who are caught in unhelpful patterns. My approach is non-judgemental, calm and compassionate. I understand talking about feelings can be difficult, especially when you're not used to it. I’m here to listen, be present and offer a calm space online for you to explore your emotions, in your own time.
Imagine feeling more motivated, more confident and being able to fully trust yourself. Think about living a life that you want to live, and being content with exactly where you're at. This is what we will work towards - and in a collaborative way.
I tailor our sessions to your needs and what you bring. I think it's important to go at your own pace - there's never any rush or expectations from me. I'll bring a calm space to you where you can talk openly and feel heard.
I have experience working with various common mental health problems, such as:
- work-life stress
- bereavement and grief
- anxiety
- depression, low mood or feeling sad
- low self-esteem or low confidence
- low motivation
- loneliness
- stress and burn out
- relationship or family issues
- separation and divorce
- life changes and transitions
I'm here for you and whatever you'd like to talk about. Get in touch for a free 15 minute intro call and we can discuss in more depth how I can help.

I firmly believe it's incredibly important for you to trust your therapist and to be as comfortable as possible, so we'll always go at your own pace. I'll always encourage you to do what's best for you.
A bit about how I work - I like to regularly check-in with you to see how you're finding things and make sure we're on the right track.
I work informally and view us as equals in the process - you're the expert of your own life, I'm here to help you process your emotions.
